銅雉
1900 - 1930
Ohara Koson was a master of the shin-hanga movement, which revived traditional Japanese woodblock printing in the early 20th century just as photography was taking over. This beautiful copper pheasant perches gracefully on a branch, its incredibly long tail feather sweeping down the page like a delicate ribbon. Koson was famous for his bird-and-flower prints, often studying live animals to capture their movements and personalities so perfectly that they look ready to flutter off the page. His works became hugely popular in the West, helping to keep this ancient art form alive for modern audiences.
